Not news, except it is news when one of them admits it.

I see Arkanside in his future.

They'll have to Arkancide this guy before he says any more.

Once in a while a miracle happens. Like Bernie Goldberg of CeeBS. They managed to destroy Bernie when he dared tell the truth about media leftist bias, and they will this guy no doubt.

EDSALL: You mean people people?

What other kind of people are there?

Dude...you're in big trouble for that piece of honesty. Thanks, though. But now watch your back.

This guy, Edsal, when he goes on his radio and tv interviews, will probably say that he was just putting Hewitt on because that's what Hewitt was wanting and looking to hear.

15 or 25:1 - I'm going on memory here, but I believe in Barbara Bush'a autobiography she said something like 4 or 5 of the 100 or so reporters in the pool admitted to voting for GHWB.

Had to bookmark this for future reference. The leftwing is so blantantly dishonest. The only thing shocking is every once in a blue moon, one says something remotely honest.

Memory refresh:

"The media, I think, want Kerry to win. And I think they're going to portray Kerry and Edwards . . . as being young and dynamic and optimistic and all, there's going to be this glow about them that is going to be worth, collectively, the two of them, that's going to be worth maybe 15 points."

journalists from outside the Beltway picked Mr. Kerry 3 to 1, and the ones from Washington favored him 12 to 1.

Evan Thomas of Newsweek on media bias

Didn't some high ranking member of the national media say back in 2004 that the media was worth 10 or 15 points for Kerry?

Ever once in a while, they will drop the pretense and admit what is obvious.

Don't read into this that Edsall is repentant. Like a rattler, he will strike back.

If the MSM was fair, we'd never lose an election. The MSM knows it. The Dims know it.

Owning the MSM is the Left's greatest accomplishment, followed by owning the educational system and dominating most municipal governments.

The only reason I'm surprised is because he admitted it.

That's like admitting coal is black and the sun is bright. The leftward bias in the US MSM is so blatant the only thing that can top it is the fauxtography and the choreographed propaganda of Reuters.

Shoot fire, we've known this for years:

From my file "89% Voted"--

Public disclosure: Media are finally admitting their biases.

D.C. journalists favor Kerry 12 to 1: N.Y. Times informal poll confirms media lean left

Creator of 'Mr. Sterling' Admits: We TV Writers Are '99% Leftist'

Professor's Study Shows Liberal Bias in News Media

No Bias in Media, ha ha, tee hee

---92% voted for Clinton.

-Poll confirms Ivy League liberal tilt--

The Politics of Hollywood


From my own files:

-The Old Grey Info-Slut... the NYT/Jayson Blair Affair--

-The Access of Evil-- CNN's Duplicity --

-That "Rush" to Judgment- Limbaugh Links--

Scams, Scalawags, and an all-too-gullible Public...famous frauds sold to America

-The lies of Paul Krugman-( BLAIR, BRAGG, DOWD ... KRUGMAN? ) --

-60 Minutes to Infamy- those forged memos and The Shot Heard Round the World--

EDSALL: It’s transparent. Okay, that I would agree. And I agree that whatever you want to call it, mainstream media, presents itself as unbiased, when in fact, there are built into it many biases, and they are overwhelmingly to the left.

Like the Blind Squirrel grudgingly finding the proverbial acorn, isn't it?

...And a good example of that disgusting bias was found while I sat in the lobby of a New York hospital watching CNN Headline News, regarding the odious remarks made by Hugo Chavez. It seems they took an opportunity to repeat the remarks every half hour...while stating the Democrat's rebuttal only ONCE. In this particular case, the MSM wanted to make darn sure we (Americans and the rest of the world) that we knew what Hugo Chavez a murderer and an oppressive thug, thought of our President.

...This is one of the primary reasons I no longer have cable television in my home nor do I read any major newspapers, especially the New York Times or the Washington Post for that matter. I do however, extend a great deal of respect to Mr. Edsall for having the decency to admit the obvious.
